Next must be used the modalities of the parts affected, and frequently these will be found to the very opposite of the modalities of the patient himself. Preference must be accorded to discharges from ulcers, from uterus during menstruation, from ears and from other parts, as those are very closely related to the vital operation of the economy. We must next look over all the record o as certain which of heat group are most similar to the particulars of he regions of the body of he organs of the body of the parts and of the extremities.

There is no need of writing out the remedies not in the mental group or summary these symptoms, relating to the whole patient, cannot be omitted with any hope of success. they include both symptoms and modalities.Īs many as these as are found, also, in the first group, the mental summary, are to be retained. The symptoms that are next most important are those related to the entire man nd his entire body, or his blood and fluids: as sensitiveness to heat, to cold, to storm, to rest, to night, to day, to time. When the sum of these has been settled, a group of five or ten remedies, or as many as appear, we are then prepared to compare them and the remedies found related to the remaining symptoms of the case. These, the mental symptoms, must first be worked out by the usual form until the remedies best suited to his mental condition are determined, omitting all symptoms that relate to a pathological cause and all that are common to disease and to people. Next-are those belonging to the rational mind, so-called intellectual mind. These must be valued in proportion as they relate to the patient rather than to his parts, and used instead of ultimates and symptoms pathognomonic.įirst-are those relating to the loves and hates, or desires and aversions. Symptoms most peculiar to the patient must be taken first, then those less and less peculiar until the symptoms that are common and not peculiar are reached, in order, from first to last. The symptoms must be judged as to their value as characteristics, in relation to the patient they must be passed in review by the rational mind to determine those which are stage, rare, and peculiar. The artistic method demands that judgment be passed on all the symptoms, after the cases is most carefully taken. There is an artistic method that omits the mechanical, and is better, but all are not prepared to use it. The Scientific method is the mechanical method taking all the symptoms and writing out all the associated remedies with gradings, making a summary with grades marked, at the end. As Homeopathy includes both science and art, Repertory study must consist of science and art.
